The Rev. Al Sharpton and other black leaders yesterday ripped school officials in the Westchester town of Peekskill who called a 7-year-old prodigy's poetry offensive. Parents of students at Peekskill HS and Peekskill Middle School received recorded phone messages last week, apologizing for a poem Autum Ashante wrote and recited at the schools to celebrate Black History Month.
The poem, "White Nationalism Put U In Bondage," likened Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin to "pirates" and "vampires" who robbed blacks of their dignity.
"Whether one agrees or disagrees with what she said, there was an entire overreaction and I intend to look into it," said Sharpton, himself a prodigy who was preaching at the age of 4. "This could have an indelible impact on this young lady's growth and creativity."
New York City Councilman Charles Barron, a former Black Panther, said, "Heads should roll!" and planned to call on state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer today to probe whether Autum's right to free speech was stifled.
"The proper thing to do would have been to call the schools together and have an analytical discussion, not apologize as if she did something wrong," he said.

Liberals love hate speech when it's aimed at America.
Charles Darwin?! What in the hell did he have to do with the slave trade?
"New York City Councilman Charles Barron, a former Black Panther, said, "Heads should roll!" and planned to call on state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer today to probe whether Autum's right to free speech was stifled."
Wow. Just freakin' wow. I'm sure this guy would have no problem with white kids wearing Confederate Battle Flag shirts, much less preaching "White Power".
I'm sure the Rev. Fat Boy will be the first to support a white child's poem averring that all blacks are pimps and "hos". Freedom of expression and all that.
Sharpton? To paraphrase: my kingdom for a hatpin!
Sharpton must be giddy!! He's found himself another "Tawana Bradley"!!
King had a dream for America. Big Al's working on a nightmare. America hating Bastard.
Icing on the cake.
Councilman Charles Barron:
Charles 'Slappy' Barron: My Critics 'Got a Lot of Nerve'
Also from Barron:
"7-year-old prodigy"
Is this the new euphemism for a junior commie/traitor??
Sure sure he was in it before Bush, what a load, gee you don't think this kid is being coached do you?
Wasn't there a girl that had a Conf. Flag on her purse and she was not allowed to bring it to school?
Sistah Soldier?
The Rev. Al Sharpton and other black leaders....

That should read:
The Rev. Al Sharpton and other black racist, opportunists...
Prodigy my butt. What 7 year old smart enough to write about white nationalism would fall for the black Bullcrap fed to them by racists parents.
You may have revealed the key to sending Reverend Al to the showers quickly. Simply Miss address the child as "Tawana" in public regularly and her parents will send Al a packin' promptly.
White Nationalism Put U In Bondage
White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The mis-education of she and Hegro — leaves you on your knee2grow
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm
Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look at our streets.
Well, if howling at the moon while screaming "Jesus" is considered preaching from a 4 year old, then I guess ol' Sharpless was a prodigy, too.
No, lol, I am sure all of her thoughts are original. I'd like to meet her parent(s)...I am sure they are lovely people.
> Charles Darwin?! What in the hell did he have to do with the slave trade?
Keep in mind, the radical Muslins, both old-world and NOIsies, are all Creationists. Darwin is hated by Creationists, because he found evidence that they are wrong.
Sharpton was actually ordained a minister when he was ten.
Most likely parent
Black Crime Put U In Bondage
Black crime is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Kwesei Mfume
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The laziness of your welfare queens— leaves you on your knee2grow
Other people's money given so you won't work, by vampires with no remorse
They gave you money and what do you do with it?
Your children haunt the street corner
Blaming everyone but themselves and their lazy, uncommitted parents
They killed other blacks, they killed the whites, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah Democrats is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Jackson, Sharpton and Mfume
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look at our streets.
Now you know I'm just being facetious. I just wanted to see if it was all right, say with former Black Panther Charles Barron for instance, to address only white people.
/sarcasm
For an explanation of how the Nation of Islam believes white people came into being, see below. The NOI has not repudiated these beliefs, they just don't talk about them much anymore.
In the Nation of Islam, both God and the devil are human beings. Elijah Muhammad identified the devil as the white man, the Caucasian race. According to Elijah, though the black race is many trillions of years old, the white race began a mere six thousand years ago with Yakub, one of the Black Gods of this time cycle.[15]
Elijah explained, "The white race is not equal with darker people because the white race was not created by the God of Righteousness. . . . They were made by Yakub, an original Black Man—who is from the Creator. Yakub, the father of the devil, made the white race, a race of devils—enemies of the darker people of the earth. The white race is not made by nature to accept righteousness."[16]
According to Elijah Muhammad, Yakub was born 20 miles from the Holy City of Mecca about 6,600 years ago. From the age of six he knew he was "born to make trouble, break peace, kill and destroy his own people with a made enemy to the black nation." He had a very large head and grew up to be called "the big head scientist." He decided to conquer and subdue the black race, and through lies he gathered 59,999 followers, whom the King of Mecca exiled to the island of Patmos. There Yakub worked to create the white race by allowing marriage only between brown or lighter-skinned Negroes and by killing all newborn black babies. His followers obeyed him; the penalty for disobedience was decapitation.[17]
Yakub died after 150 years, but his project to make a race of lawless criminals lived on (Elijah's term for this misguided eugenics project was "grafting"). After two hundred years, only brown people were left alive. After another 200 years, Patmos was home to only yellow and red people. At the end of "the six hundredth year, Mr. Yakub had an all-pale white race of people on this Isle," said Elijah Muhammad.[18]
The white race left the island and returned to Paradise (Mecca). But in less than six months they had caused warfare and controversy among the people, so the King of Mecca had them escorted to Europe by "a caravan, armed with rifles, to keep the devils going westward." Here begins the white man's history, for he was granted six thousand years to rule the earth.
The first two thousand years were squandered while the whites lived as naked savages in the caves of Europe, eating their meat raw and without even a knowledge of fire. They tried to "graft" themselves back to black by reverse breeding, but succeeded only in making gorillas (this is the origin of the monkey and gorilla family).[19] Then Moses came to them. He taught them how to wear clothes, use fire, cook their food, and to believe in Allah. The whites rejected Moses, who set a trap and blew up three hundred of them with dynamite,[20] but it was through Moses' efforts that the teaching of civilization gradually seeped into the mind of the white man. Over the centuries, the white man used this knowledge, combined with his innate craftiness and "tricknology," to dominate the world.
The twenty-four God-Scientists who wrote the history of this world foreordained that the period of white rule should be limited to six thousand years. To accomplish this, "the Black Man or Gods were put to sleep in order that the Wisdom of the Black Man did not interfere with what the white man is made for (to rule us under wickedness, enslavement, deceit, murder, and death for six thousand years)."
Now that is simply precious. You're never too young to be taught race hate. This poor, stupid little child has an entire lifetime of resentment and anger to look forward to.
That's one of the funniest things I've seen.
Frankly, I doubt the kid wrote it. The whole thing smells like a fraud. With that said, if she did write it herself, it's more depressing than impressive.
Huh....
That's an interesting take on things.
Round up the usual suspects.
;-)
In the case of Sharpton, it would be fecal matter smeared on Tawana Brawley - an incident that Sharpton took full advantage of...
Prehaps this is the Black Panthers answer to the "Olsen Twins of White Pride". Both equally disgusting.
Er, he was anti-slavery before it was cool.
NH: Did he [Charles Darwin] have strong feelings on social issues?
Colp: Yes, he grew up in an anti-slavery household. The Wedgwood-Darwin family had a long tradition of Abolitionist support. A famous Wedgwood ceramic plaque shows a slave in chains with the slogan, “Am I not a man and a brother?”
In Brazil he witnessed slavery firsthand, and never forgot the screams of a tortured slave coming from a house in Pernambuco. Watching or hearing people in pain made him physically ill. That was why he could not become a surgeon himself, as his father had wished. He fled from the operating theater at Edinburgh when he could not bear the screams of a strapped-down child in surgery—and never returned to pursue his medical career. He was against slavery not only on political and humane grounds, but also because it made him literally sick to his stomach.
This sounds like something an insane person would dream.
Of course she didnt write it, at least not alone. I imagine her parents wrote the majority of it and they may have lether ehlp with the rhyming. The one thing thstis good is that at the least her parents are paying some atention to her and she isnt out playing in the streets like most kids her age. Now if they werent racists they could help her to become a productive citizen Like Condaleeza Rice instead of a bigot comedian like Whoopi Goldberg.
